Sakura hAruno's AppeaRance

SAKURA HARUNO'S APPEARANCE -

Sakura has bright pink hair, greeneyes, and fair skin. Sakura was oftenbullied due to her rather largeforehead hence her nickname of"Billboard Brow". In Part I, Sakurawore a red qipao dress with white circular designs, with or withoutsleeves, tight dark green shorts, anda forehead protector which she used to accentuate her face.

In Part II, Sakura, now a chūnin, has acquired a new outfit consisting of the same basic red top as in Part I, with black gloves,black low-heeled boots, black shorts, short pink apron skirt, andpink elbow protectors. Sakura is now also armed with a chūnin's tantō (which she wears above her medical pouch, but she has never been seen using it in combat). The cloth of her foreheadprotector has also changed to red in colour. When she's not on amission, she wears her regular red shirt, with a light yellow shirtunder it, and a navy-coloured skirt. In this outfit, she still wears herboots. She later dons the uniform of the Allied Shinobi Forces inclusive of a Konohagakure flak jacket, albeit opting to wear a skirt instead of pants and her regular boots. She apparently later changes her skirt to pants.

Another notable trait of Sakura's appearance is her hair. At the series' beginning,Sakura's hair was very long (when she was young, there was a rumour that Sasuke was attracted to girls with long hair). [10] After Sakura was forced to protect the unconscious bodies of Sasuke and Naruto after their battle with Orochimaru, Kin Tsuchi grabbed Sakura's hair and taunted her for paying more attention to her appearancethan practising her technique. Kin kept Sakura captive, holding her tightly by the hairand forcing her to watch Zaku Abumi attack Lee. This caused Sakura to cut her hair to release Kin's hold on her, and determinedly attacking Team Dosu with a new goal of surpassing her team-mates. Her hair was very short and messy that time. After thebattle, Ino cuts Sakura's hair to make it neater. Sakura's hair grows after the exam.Sakura has kept her new, shoulder-length hairstyle for the rest of the series. As shownin a flashback, she grows her hair again during the time skip, but later cuts it. She, like Shizune, also has the tendency to pin her hair up in a ponytail when working.
